If you're on New Zealand's North Island in the famous geothermal region of Rotorua, you can take one of the most exciting flights of your life. From a bird's-eye view you'll see stunning panoramas of crystal-clear lakes and dormant volcanic craters, and you'll also visit the summit of Mount Tarawera and the Hidden Geyser Valley at Orakei Korako.

The 3-hour helicopter tour includes:

• A flight over the picturesque northern lakes of Rotoiti, Rotoma and Rotoehu
• A 20-minute landing on the summit of Mount Tarawera, exploring 6 craters. This volcano is known for a major eruption in 1886 and its most recent eruption in 1981
• Landing at the Hidden Valley of Orakei Korako, considered to have the largest number of geysers in New Zealand. A 60-90 minute walking tour through this exotic natural park, which sees no mass tourism due to its remoteness from the main road
• A flight over Lake Rotorua and Mokoia Island

Having a English-speaking guide accompany you on this excursion will provide not only translation, but also serve as your main source of information about the island's history and the scientific facts behind this active volcanic landscape.
